This is NOT boring oatmeal! I've hooked many a I don't care for oatmeal folks w/ this one! Other than the basics (water, oats, & salt), the ingredients are optional and may be varied to suit individual tastes. Ingredients:
1 cup water |
1/2 cup rolled oats |
1 dash salt |
2 tablespoons brown sugar |
cinnamon (i must use a teaspoon) |
2 tablespoons chopped walnuts |
1/4 cup dried cherries (see notes below) |
Directions:
1. Combine ingredients in microwave safe dish/pot. Nuke 2 mins 20 sec. Stir. If still water-y, nuke 10-15 seconds.
2. ***Note #1: I often use whatever fresh fruit I have on hand - chopped apples, cut up bananas, fresh peaches, etc.
3. ***Note #2: I also like to use dried fruit such as raisins, cherries, blueberries, etc. When using dried fruit, I like to nuke the fruit in enough water to cover for appx 2 mins, depending on the size of the fruit and it's estimated moisture content.
4. ***Note #3: After nuking dried fruit, do not drain if there is any water left. Add the other ingredients to the pot and go from there.
5. ***Note #4: Other than the water and oats, I don't actually measure the other stuff, just adding a handful of this and some of that.
